      Pros

      Great when Oil is on the upswing. In some instance you can make your own way through the company.

      Cons

      It's the good-ol-boy network in spades. It's not what you know it's who you know. Also, if you get a little on the old side they want to shove you out the door.

      Terrible communication between groups

      Pros

      Excellent pay and management is understanding of the need for time off on most occasions. Very little micromanaging in some groups.

      Cons

      The communication is terrible between groups. There is no "email discipline" at all....you will find a chain a mile long, and the people commenting at the top of the chain and issuing orders have no idea and do not read the start of the chain to understand the issue. At least 50% of my time is spent explaining something to an executive or internal customer because he "heard" a rumor about something....very frustrating.

      Pros

      Laid back work environment with a very casual office dress code attire. Its like its always Friday over here. Definite no. 1 position in the market. The contracts just keep on coming in even when the oil price is low. Highly advanced technology applied in their products. Job stability and security. Impact of the global recession hasn't been as bad as the other service companies.

      Cons

      The money is next to nothing. Organization is so big, its more "business first" then "people first" Has a crazy rule of business travelling can only be in coach. Imagine a 12 hour flight in coach. Need to cut throat back stab 20+ people just to get a promotion. Even sometimes it really is just up to the boss about who gets promoted without any particular measure of merit. Not really an equal opportunity employer. Turnover is high. Young talented engineers just come and go...
